Generally I liked the book, however I found myself skimming through sections as I thought the book became bogged down in too much unnecessary detail. This tended to bore me so I skimmed through to parts where there was more action.

I followed book one in the Commune series with high hopes. Unfortunately, told from a very different perspective, this book was not my cup of tea. I appreciated the author asking for some leeway with the US Marine jargon in the foreward, so I was expecting it to be heavyhanded on the patriarchal militaristic bravado persona. I was not disappointed. I'm not sure why post-apocalyptic novel automatically means exclusively macho one-dimensional male characters.. but this guy just felt like a chump to me. I had to stop reading because I was rolling my eyes every couple of pages.

What a blast! Got absolutely absorbed in the "journal" style of this book. Bring on book 3... can't wait! And what a story! Post apocalypse without a zombie in sight - just a rag-tag bunch of unlikely survivors trying to cope with the almost insurmountable obstacles posed by things that are currently taken for granted
